How to Make Australian Wattleseed Oatmeal Coconut Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of wattleseed and mix until well combined.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg, the zest of 1 lime, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 1/2 cups rolled oats and 1 cup shredded coconut. Mix until evenly distributed.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons (about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons each) of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
